Restaurant HOIAN BBQ

The food was a bit average, but the locations is great. Call ahead to reserve if you can, hopefully before everyone else does! Service was slow but occasionally good, strange.

The sampler plate was a good mix
Grilled pork was excellent, get that one
Orange chicken and duck were so so

The pho though, was bad. The broth was thin and salty, with much flavor, and the beef was poor.

They were very very very slow. Absence of personnel. They didn’t see us entering , they didn’t bother coming to serve us. They were lost at some point and going around taking orders. After 25 mins of waiting they came to us and we ordered , so we ate after 1 hour at least. This is a no go for a restaurant.
The servers were very polite but I guess they are not many, so the manager of this restaurant is not managing very well the resources or needs more. We felt the absence of management of the restaurant.
Taste : we got 2 dishes, not bad , it reminded of me a typical Chinese place. I mean not something special you don’t find around.

Very pricey for what you get. At a Chinese place you eat with 16 chf and the steam rice costs 1-2 chf. Here a typical chicken dish costs 28 chf and the steam rice 4 chf ! We also got spring rolls and a coke and paid 96 chf !!!! For two average dishes and a soft drink that elsewhere it would have cost me 45chf .

Atmosphere : inside is better than outside. Pity they make so much money and they invest zero to their appearance that reminds me of a 60s facility of basic plastic chairs and tables. The installation does not justify the prices of their menu. When you see I from outside with the cement like it is just now built and not even painted, you expect a very cheap place but what a surprise!

In short: waste of money . if you like Asian food, better order a delivery and enjoy the atmosphere of your place it will cost you less and you will eat sooner.

Amazing location. Too bad we went in November. We could not sit outside.
Good ambience. Food tasted amazing. Tried almost everything on the menu as we were a group of 16 people. I loved the shrimp and chicken.
Presentation was good. Great service.
It's close to olympee metro station. Right by harbour so u can walk around before and after.

Finding diner on a monday Evening in ouchy can be challenging after 22.00 so spontanesouly walked into HOIAN. Nice Location, great view, very friendly staff. Great choices on the menu. Had number 4 and 81.. was delicious. Great value for money. Will come back

Nice marina/mountains view, we always come back here for some nice Vietnam flavors with extremely friendly staff and owner. This time we had some diferent delicious starters then the "pho", always delicious and HUGE portion.

A very nice, a few of the reasonably priced in Lausanne by the lake. The dishes are always fresh and not overly seasoned unless it's spicy. The staff is all over the place, in bad and good ways. The view over the marina is gorgeous.

The food was ok but not amazing, the wait before we got the menus was long, and we paid an astounding 10 francs for a bottle of still water - the same price as the Virgin mojito…

Best Vietnamese food in town! Go for their all-you-can-eat buffet on Saturday evening and Sunday brunch! Nice staff! And an astonishing view!
